Descripción

Mathematics for Physical Chemistry, Fifth Edition includes exercises that enable readers to test their understanding and put theory into practice. Chapters are constructed around a sequence of mathematical topics, progressing gradually into more advanced material, before discussing key mathematical skills, including the analysis of experimental data and—new to this edition—complex variables. Includes additional new content on Mathematica and its advanced applications. Drawing on the experience of its expert authors, this book is the ideal supplementary text for practicing chemists and students wanting to sharpen their mathematics skills and understanding of key mathematical concepts for applications across physical chemistry.

Puntos claves

  • Includes updated coverage of key topics, including a review of general algebra and an introduction to group theory
  • Features previews, objectives, and numerous examples and problems throughout the text to aid learning
  • Provides chemistry-specific instruction without the distraction of abstract concepts or theoretical issues in pure mathematics
  • Includes new chapters on complex variables and Mathematica for advanced applications

De interès para
